Full Tour of Pendle

[IainR]

Sorry, but I don't but the "cold hands" excuse for leaving your litter behind. So every time you drop some litter in winter it's OK to leave it as you've got cold hands ? Poppycock ! It's a friendly fell race, not the olympics. Pick your godamn litter up.

I sometimes doubt some of you have been in the fells. I dropped a power bar wrapper in the 2008 Peris. Going up Garn it blew away and down into Cwm Idwal.....what was I to do? Search in vain for the wrapper?Descend 2000ft searching for that one wrapper?

I also didn't say it was acceptable. But an accidental dropping of a wrapper is hardly a shooting offence. And it wasn't me - I ate one fudge bar and one gel and can post you both wrappers if you want proof..

I run 2500 miles a year, mostly in the fells, I've dropped one wrapper, yet I've carried off a lot if litter, especially off Snowdon...

I find it brilliant that you are all so horrified about 1 wrapper, yet drive 500 mile round trips, pumping Co2 into the air for a friendly fell race...I just acknowledge there are consequences for partaking in the sport I do. The way you lot preach on its like you think you have 0 enviormental impact. Of course you do, far more than just a dropped wrapper.

Have some perspective...

Honestly a great race, great event and some of you would rather harp on about 6 dropped wrappers...
